Hi all,

not being the artist extraordinaire that some of you are, I'm working my way around photoshop and screenshots to create a comic book cover - Asylum Orchestra #1
so two questions
--whaddya think
and
--what's a good program (maybe photoshop) for designing the inside pages and panels.

Thanks all!

Personally I use PS for all my stuff. Once you explore it's functions, you realize you don't need much more.

OP:

Your upper-titles are too close to the border-edge. And there is no border around the NCSoft logo, so it looks detached from the cover.

It is good, but you may not want all your 'comic covers' to become little more than picture collages. I would recommend using the various elements judiciously.

Art is typically done in Photoshop, but I think the panels and text is all imported into Illustrator and taken from there. Illustrator is a lot more forgiving than Photoshop when it comes to text and such.

Thanks for the tips all.
Just downloaded the demo for "Comic Book Creator" - probably not as deep as Illustrator, but seems to a quick way to get ideas down using screenshots.
